The PlanetGeo Podcast
- Combines deep dives into important topics, interviews with top scientists, writers, and leaders in the Geosciences field, and episodes taking the 30,000 foot view of a field or subject
- Believes that knowing the basics about our planet will enrich everyone’s daily life
- Aims to change the perception that the Geosciences are undervalued by society
"Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice." - Will Durant
"At PlanetGeo, we believe the Geosciences are undervalued by society."
"Most people know why biology and physics are important to our everyday lives, or at least what scientists in those fields do. The same is not true for the Geosciences and we aim to change that!"

Geology On The Rocks
- Discussions on environmental ethics, forensic geology, and answering questions related to jobs and career paths in the geosciences.
- Mineral minutes and That Freaking Rocks.
- Tangents related to environmental consciousness and inclusivity.
- Produced in May, April, and June of 2022.
"In this episode, GOTR takes the skeletons out of their closets and goes on a deep into all things forensic geologies, the mysterious interface between geology and forensics."
"We go through how a crime scene might be controlled for, and clues are handled. We then cover the various types of evidence forensic geologists might find helpful while finding tangential paths to travel down."
"This episode closes out season 4 with a dang bang! We finally get around to answering some of the questions we have received, such as jobs and career paths in the geosciences, what our favorite geologic structures are, identifying minerals in the field, types of rocks you might encounter in various depositional settings."

"My favorite is a course that's free from ITunesU. It's called Earth and Environmental Science by Colorado School of Mines. If my memory serves me correctly it's Dr. Christian Shorey. It's a really good all-inclusive podcast that starts at the simplest of geologic features and processes and finishes after a very detailed story through Geologic time to the present."
"Nature" the science publication has a good podcast if you're looking for higher level science talk."
"Also try Science Friday, a NPR radio show that does a great job covering any science stories in the news in detail."

"Don’t Panic Geo-cast is a decent geology podcast 🙂 me and my partner have been enjoying for the past few months now!"
"Ologies’ borderline-cheesy asides make it much more fun than old academic dudes droning on. But that sounds like it could be super valuable for research!"
"You should check out Stuff You Should Know! There are plenty of natural science topics such as avalanches, mass extinctions, ice ages, megalodon, volcanos, pteranodons, jellyfish, tardigrades, wooly mammoths & mastodon, fossilization, geysers, earthquakes, and so much more. I used these to supplement my 100-level geology classes, they definitely helped!"

"Are you talking about Christian Shorey's Earth and Environmental Systems podcasts? If so those things are a treasure to mankind and goes so far beyond geology. Around the time he gets to ecology it becomes an almost transcendental experience, he's quoting literature and playing awesome music and dropping knowledge all over the place. Can't recommend those enough."
